Is Milk Of Bismuth Effective In Managing Gastritis?
When I was a kid I had terrible motion sickness and my doctor had me take milk of bismuth and coke syrup. Both worked great. Also, ginger. What is the down side if I tell my adult daughter to give one or more a try? She is having an acute gastritis attack and nothing the docs have given her work.
